Color Tuning in the Luminescence of Two Oligomers Derived from N,N′-(Naphthalenediyl)‎bis-phenylimine Containing Oligomers

Abstract EN

Two oligomers with different molecular weight were produced.

Fluorescence properties were examined both in solutions and in the solid state.

In the solid state, molecular weight turned out to be an important factor influencing the aggregation structures and therefore the emission of the compounds, in colour and intensity.

The neat compounds emit two different colours, blue and yellow, with increasing the molecular weight, whereas both compounds are blue emitters in solution and dispersed in host polymers.

Dissolved in a LC host polymer and in a PVK matrix, they displayed noteworthy photoluminescence quantum yields.
